Trump Administration Launches CBP Home App to Facilitate Migrant Self-Deportation

The app replaces the Biden-era CBP One, allowing migrants to report their intent to leave the U.S. and verify their departure.

  • The CBP Home app allows migrants in the U.S. illegally to self-deport by submitting personal and travel information to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated that migrants who use the app to leave voluntarily may have the opportunity to return legally in the future, while those who do not will face deportation and a permanent ban on reentry.
  • The app is an update to the CBP One app, which was previously used under the Biden administration to schedule border appointments for migrants seeking entry.
  • Data from the former CBP One app will be utilized by DHS to track migrants for potential removal if they do not self-deport.
  • The Trump administration has emphasized restoring border integrity and reducing unauthorized entries, including a significant drop in migrant crossings since taking office.
